Blog 26: Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your 2-Hour Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
 I am the most proud of my mentorship overall because I know I learned many things by observing my mentor, as well as the other people, there. I know this isn't very big but I really liked the posters I made with my EQ on them for my presentation. I am also very proud of the fact that I was able to complete this topic that I have been researching and learning about all year.

(2) Questions to Consider
a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your 2-Hour Presentation (self-assessment)?
AE       P          AP       CR       NC
I would give myself and AP+/P because I know I did a good job but I know I could have done better.
b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?
AE       P          AP       CR       NC
 I would give myself a P because I feel like I did everything I was supposed to and I completed the assignments on time.
(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
  What worked for me was that I was able to get very informative books to help me understand my topic better. Breaking it up through the year helped me get quality research and it also helped me figure out specific research I needed to obtain.The research checks throughout the year really helped with the compilation for the final binder check as well. 
 
(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?
I would probably liked to have better answers for my essential question. Either this or I would have liked to come up activities that seemed more fun. I would have liked to have done more research to gain even more knowledge than I have now.
 
(5) Finding Value
How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.  
  Like my product, I know I can talk to people and socialize with them better. When learning to communicate with people, I know how to work with them to gain specific information to help both of us reach a common goal. For example, while working with drama club, I had to know the type of character the actors were playing by talking to them in order to give them the hairstyle to represent that character. Being social and an effective communicator are both skills needed in the career field I want to go into. It is also very important in the society we live in, because everything requires communication and people cooperating with each other nowadays. I am no longer nervous or shy to ask others for favors, ask for help, or even just have a normal conversation. This project has helped me surpass this obstacle that I have been trying to overcome for a very long time.
